5 new lichen-forming fungal species of the genus Allographa have been discovered from the Western Ghats by MACS-Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune.
New species: Allographa keralensis, A. nayakae, A. paraconsanguinea, A. persistinspersa and A. semicarbonisata.
Lichens are a symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium.
Lichens are bioindicators of air quality, forest health and climate change, as they are highly sensitive to pollution and habitat disturbance.
The Western Ghats is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s 36 biodiversity hotspots.

India’s Industrial Policy 2.0 – From Manufacturing to Value Ownership
One Value Chain —> One Value Capture: India must move beyond assembling products to owning high-value segments such as design, IP, brands and core technologies.
Manufacturing Alone Is Not Enough: Export growth is important, but long-term gains depend on retaining economic value through domestic ownership.
Semicon 2.0 Vision: Expand from fabrication to the entire semiconductor ecosystem- chip design, components, advanced packaging, testing and capital equipment.
Ownership Over Royalties: Large royalty and licence fee outflows reduce domestic value capture; indigenous patents and processor designs can minimise this dependence.
Deep-Tech Capital: Create patient domestic capital, government equity support and faster exit mechanisms for semiconductor and AI startups.
Sovereign AI: Build AI on Indian-owned chips, models, compute infrastructure and intellectual property rather than relying only on imported hardware or hosted models.
Innovation Ecosystem: Strengthen design centres, research institutions, supplier networks, skilled manpower and MSMEs alongside manufacturing.
Strategic FDI: Foreign investment should prioritise technology transfer, co-development, local supplier development and capability creation- not merely assembly.
Government as Market Creator: Strategic procurement in defence, telecom, electronics, mobility and energy can provide the first large domestic market for Indian technologies.
Core Message: India’s next industrial revolution will be determined not merely by what it manufactures, but by who owns the technology and captures the value.
